Waldensiansx- the fruits of the ancient paths
An ethnobotanical field study on the traditional uses of wild plants for food as well as medicinal and veterinary plants was conducted in four Waldensian valleys (Chisone, Germanasca, Angrogna, and Pellice) in the Western Alps, Piedmont, NW Italy.
It was found that the Waldesians had an advanced knowledge of herbs and the fruits of the Alpine slopes and used them in their cooking and diet.
Clearly, sweet chestnuts in autumn were favourites but here are some softer fruits they enjoyed to gather (knowin whether they were safe to eat from mountain bushes) or to grow:
Alpine strawberry (Maiissa)
